What is Code? Why Are Programmers So Intense About Languages?

Let’s Begin

A computer is a clock with benefits. They all work the same, doing second-grade math, one step at a time: Tick, take a number and put it in box one. Tick, take another number, put it in box two. Tick, operate (an operation might be addition or subtraction) on those two numbers and put the resulting number in box one. Tick, check if the result is zero, and if it is, go to some other box and follow a new set of instructions.

How Does Code Become Software?
We know that a computer is a clock with benefits, and that software starts as code, but how?
We know that someone, somehow, enters a program into the computer and the program is made of

By Joel Hruska
